Houston Astros shortstop Jonathan Villar tried to stretch a single into a double in the first inning of Tuesday night's game against the Cincinnati Reds, but it backfired in the most embarrassing way possible.
Not only did the throw beat Villar by a mile, but his awkward headfirst slide resulted in a face full of Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips' rear end.
Villar will surely be the "butt" of some jokes after this one. Is it any wonder that the Astros are the worst team in baseball?
